Rhyme Scheme: AABA CBDB DDBD| O city lapped in sun and Sabbath rest | A |
| With happy face of plenteous ease possessed | A |
| Have you no doubts that whisper dreams that moan | B |
| Disquietude to stir your slumbering breast | A |
| - | |
| Think you the sins of other climes are gone | C |
| The harlot's curse rings in your streets the groan | B |
| Of out worn men the stabbed and plundered slaves | D |
| Of ever growing Greed these are your own | B |

| O'er you shall sweep the fiery hell that craves | D |
| For quenchment the bright blood of human waves | D |
| For you if you repent not shall atone | B |
| For Greed's dark death holes with War's swarming graves | D |
